Popis: In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were synthesized using Punica granatum peel extract in one–step reaction at room temperature. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The UV-vis absorption spectrum shows an absorption band at 278 nm due to ZnO nanoparticles. XRD characterized the final product as highly crystalline ZnO with sizes in the range 10-40 nm. The SEM results reveal a presence of network of randomly oriented ZnO nanoplatelets with an average size of 40 nm and thicknesses of about 8 nm. This study determined the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles on green peach aphid and antibacterial activity.
